Life Wasted

You're always sayin' that there's somethin' wrong

I'm startin' to believe it's your plan all along

Death came around, forced to hear its song

And, no, tomorrow can't be depended on

Seen the home inside your head

All locked doors and unmade beds

Open sores unattended

Let me say just once that

I have faced it, a life wasted

I'm never goin' back again

Though I escaped it, a life wasted

I'm never goin' back again

Oh, havin' tasted a life wasted

I'm never goin' back again

The world awaits just up the stairs

Leave the pain for someone else

There's nothin' back there for you to find

Or was it you who you left behind?

You're always sayin' you're too weak to be strong

You're harder on yourself than just about anyone

Why swim the channel just to get this far?

While halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves

Tell me, why invite it to stay?

You're one with negativity, yes

Comfort is an energy

But why let the sad song play?

I have faced it, a life wasted

I'm never goin' back again

Though I escaped it, a life wasted

I'm never goin' back again

Oh, havin' tasted a life wasted

I'm never goin' back again

Oh, I erased it, a life wasted

I'm never goin' back again
